    The Enneagram Saved My Family — Episode 244: Katie Ruley

    Episode 244 This episode is extra special — Katie Ruley was one of my very first guests back when this podcast was audio-only, and now I get to sit across the table from her on video! Katie is the founder of EnLighten Enneagram, and in the five years since we last recorded, her coaching business has grown in ways neither of us could have predicted. We talk about the "scary yes" that started it all, what makes the Enneagram so different from every other personality assessment, and how understanding her family's wiring transformed Katie's marriage and her relationships with her four kids. Her reminder that "a better me is a better we" hit home for me — I think it will for you too. Connect with Katie: enlightenenneagram.com (she's also on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn — and yes, you can even text her; the number is on her website).

    Episode 242 Five Signs You're Quietly Cracking and one Move That Stops Full Burn Out

    How many times have you talked yourself out of an opportunity, downplayed your gifts, or waited until you felt more qualified, more confident, or more ready? In this episode, I'm encouraging you to stop shrinking to make others comfortable and start embracing the gifts, passions, and experiences that make you uniquely you. The world doesn't need a smaller version of you it needs the impact that only you can make. We'll explore why so many women play small, how people-pleasing and perfectionism keep us stuck, and why confidence is built through action, not before it. I'll also challenge you to think about the clues that have been woven throughout your life—the things you love doing, the compliments you've received, and the activities that make you lose track of time. What if those aren't random at all, but are pointing you toward your purpose? As we celebrate freedom this season, perhaps the greatest freedom is choosing to stop dimming your light and giving yourself permission to take up space, use your voice, and pursue what truly matters. The next chapter of your life isn't waiting for a different version of you. It's waiting for the real you to step forward. Start with passion. Grow with purpose.

    Episode 241 Three Things You Need in Place Before You Tell Your Boss You're Leaving

    Three Things You Need in Place Before You Tell Your Boss You’re Leaving In this episode of Sharing Passion and Purpose, Nancy Moore talks about one of the biggest decisions many women face: leaving a job, role, or career that no longer fits. Instead of quitting impulsively, Nancy encourages listeners to leave intentionally and build a plan that creates confidence, clarity, and momentum.She breaks the episode into three essential areas to have in place before making a move: 1. Create Financial Clarity Fear around money is often what keeps people stuck. Nancy explains why it’s important to know your monthly essentials, debt, savings, and how much cushion you need for a transition. She recommends spending one hour reviewing your finances so you can replace panic with a plan. 2. Build Proof Before You Take the Leap Rather than waiting until you leave to figure everything out, Nancy suggests building your next chapter while you’re still in your current one. That might mean getting your first client, booking a small speaking event, starting to consult, or networking in a new industry. Small wins create evidence, and evidence reduces fear. 3. Build a Circle of Support Big decisions feel heavier when you carry them alone. Nancy emphasizes the importance of mentors, accountability partners, coaches, and community. She reminds listeners that not everyone will understand their decision, and that it’s wise to be intentional about whose voices influence your future. Key Takeaways Don’t quit impulsively; quit intentionally.Financial clarity builds confidence.Action creates clarity, not the other way around.You don’t need to build the whole bridge at once—just start laying the planks.Support matters when you’re stepping into a new chapter.Action Step Nancy challenges listeners to choose one area that needs attention right now: Financial clarityProof before the leapSupport systemThen commit to one step this week. Memorable Quote “You don’t need to build an entire bridge before you cross it. You simply need to start laying the planks.” Mentioned in This Episode Sharing Passion and Purpose podcastSharing Passion and Purpose school communityClosing Thought The life you want is built long before you submit your resignation letter. It starts with small steps, honest reflection, and the courage to believe that something more is possible. Connect with Nancy Instagram Facebook Skool

    Episode 240 "I cant quit yet" trap

    In this episode of Sharing Passion and Purpose, Nancy Moore introduces what she calls the “I can’t quit yet” trap—that quiet, private place many women find themselves in when they feel stuck between where they are and where they want to be.If you’ve ever felt like you should be happy on the outside but feel restless, misaligned, or trapped on the inside, this episode is for you. Nancy explains why so many women stay in situations that no longer fit, not because they lack courage, but because they haven’t built a bridge to what’s next. In this episode, Nancy explores: Why “I can’t quit yet” is often rooted in fear, expectations, identity, comfort, or financial pressureThe hidden cost of staying stuckWhy meaningful change rarely happens through one giant leapHow to build a bridge to your future one intentional step at a timeThe role of community, support, and accountability in creating real momentumReflection exercises from the episode: What am I afraid of losing?Write down everything that comes to mind when you think about change.What I gain by staying / What staying is costing meDivide a page into two columns and honestly compare the benefits of staying with the hidden cost of staying stuck.Draw your bridgeOn one side, write where I am today. On the other, write where I want to be. Then identify the five planks you need to build to get there.Key takeaway You do not have to quit today, burn it all down, or have every answer. You simply need to stop waiting for perfect certainty and start building your bridge—one plank at a time. Memorable quote “You don’t have to jump across the entire river. You simply are building a bridge across one plank at a time.” Call to action Nancy invites listeners to share the one bridge plank they’re committing to this week and to connect inside her school community.Listen, reflect, and start building the bridge to what’s next.

    Episode 239 Playing Small: It's Time to Take Up Space

    Show Notes: Stop Playing Small — It’s Time to Take Up Space In this episode of Sharing Passion and Purpose, Nancy Moore explores what it means to stop playing small and start showing up fully. Using the image of fireworks as a powerful reminder to be seen, Nancy shares why so many women hold back their ideas, silence their voices, and wait for the “right” time to act.She explains how playing small often starts slowly through self-editing, overthinking, perfectionism, and fear of judgment and how that pattern can quietly cost us confidence, joy, opportunities, and authenticity. Nancy also draws an important distinction between humility and hiding, reminding listeners that their experiences, ideas, and perspective matter.Nancy shares personal lessons from entrepreneurship, including how clarity often comes after action, not before it. She talks about taking the leap to leave her part-time PR job and how progress came through one step at a time, not from having a perfect plan.She closes with four practical ways to stop playing small: Pay attention to where you’re editing yourselfStop asking for permissionChoose progress over perfectionSurround yourself with people who encourage growthNancy ends with a powerful reminder: you do not need to earn your place, wait until you feel ready, or shrink yourself to make others comfortable. The world needs you fully present, fully engaged, and willing to be seen. Key Takeaways Playing small often happens gradually through fear and self-protection.Clarity usually comes through action, not waiting.Progress matters more than perfection.Community can either keep you stuck or help you grow.Your voice, story, and contributions matter exactly as they are.Questions to Reflect On Where have you been making yourself smaller?What opportunities have you talked yourself out of?What would you do if you trusted yourself more?What is one step you can take this week that your future self will thank you for?What changes if you stop worrying so much about what other people think?Notable Quote “The world doesn’t need a smaller version of you. It needs you fully present, fully engaged, and willing to be seen.” Community Mention Nancy invites listeners to join her school community for weekly live sessions and monthly education conversations with podcast guests and members.

    Episode 237. What 25 Years of Teaching Business has Taught Me About Who Actually Makes the Leap into Entrepreneurship

    After 25 years of teaching business courses at Tulsa Community College, I've had a front-row seat to thousands of students—some looking to complete a degree, some hoping to advance in their careers, and many carrying a dream of starting a business and creating a life with more freedom and purpose. One thing I've learned is this: not everyone who dreams about entrepreneurship becomes an entrepreneur. So what separates the people who take the leap from those who stay stuck in the planning phase? In this solo episode, I share the characteristics I've consistently seen in the students who move from dreaming to doing. It's rarely about having the perfect idea, the most experience, or even the greatest talent. Instead, it comes down to mindset, habits, discipline, consistency, self-motivation, and the willingness to take imperfect action. We'll talk about: ✨ Why clarity comes through action—not before it ✨ The common traits successful entrepreneurs share ✨ The importance of resourcefulness and lifelong learning ✨ Why entrepreneurship is not a spectator sport ✨ Getting comfortable being a beginner ✨ The difference between consuming information and creating momentum ✨ One powerful question to ask yourself if you've been waiting for the "right time" If you've been sitting on a dream, questioning whether you're ready, or wondering if entrepreneurship is right for you, this conversation is for you. Remember: the people who build successful businesses don't necessarily have less fear than everyone else—they simply decide that their dream is more important than their discomfort. Question to reflect on after listening: What is one step you've been avoiding because you don't feel ready—and what would happen if you took that step anyway? Thank you for listening to the Sharing Passion and Purpose Podcast. Start with passion. Grow with purpose.
